Latti Associates LLC has represented injured maritime workers and their families for more than 60 years, taking on employers and vessel owners of all sizes. From small commercial fishing operations to some of the largest shipping and marine companies in the world, we have built a strong record of holding negligent parties accountable under maritime law.
Based in Boston and New Bedford, our firm represents seamen, commercial fishermen, and others injured at sea or near the water. We are equipped to handle cases nationwide and have the experience, resources, and legal knowledge to take on even the most well-resourced defendants in maritime injury and wrongful death cases.
Notable Cases and Maritime Litigation Experience
We have litigated a number of high-profile maritime accident cases, such as the sinking of the F/V ANDREA GAIL and the hit-and-run collision between the M/V VIRGO and the F/V STARBOUND. Both cases drew international attention; the Andrea Gail case provided the basis for the book and film, The Perfect Storm.
We also handled the case involving the sinking of the clamming vessel the F/V CAPE FEAR, which inspired the book The Sea’s Bitter Harvest by Douglas Campbell.
